West Virginia voters to decide on medically assisted suicide prohibition in constitution

[RandySF]

During the general election, West Virginians will decide whether the state constitution should prohibit physicians and other health care providers from helping a patient die.

Medically assisted suicide is already illegal in the state. Amendment 1 would enshrine a “protection against medically assisted suicide” into the state’s constitution.

The amendment reads: “No person, physician, or health care provider in the State of West Virginia shall participate in the practice of medically assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing of a person.”

Voting yes on the amendment would be a vote in favor of adding those words to the constitution.
